This cleaning list is designed as a prompt to assist with cleaning the yurt, thank you for referring to it as you continue with the clean and by the end please ensure all items have been completed, then submit the form at the bottom of the page to confirm, thank you.

Please note that with the yurt there are four key areas to clean:
1. The yurt itself (including the bbq and outside seating)
2. The fridge and table it sits on (located in the lean-to in the yard)
3. The loo
4. The shower

As per our Cleaning Protocol please follow this process for each space you are cleaning:
1. Ventilate & wipe down high touch-point areas
2. Remove high-risk items eg bed linen, towels, empty bins
3. Deep clean - of all areas
4. Sanitise - using DuoMax spray and a clean cloth on all high touch areas eg surfaces, door knobs
5. Re-set - only bringing in new ‘re-set’ items eg towels, bedding, magazines, flowers once the yurt is fully cleaned.

We recommend that after ventilating the yurt, PPE is used as high-risk items are removed from all areas (eg yurt bedding, towels, kitchen linen & bin, hand towels & bin from the loo and check shower and fridge for any high-risk items that may have been left behind) then begin the deep clean. As the deep clean begins high-touch points (eg door knobs, handles and light switches) should be cleaned first followed by a deep clean of all areas with hot water and using DuoMax (and additional products such as Cif if required for stubborn stains), then a further spray and wipe-down of DuoMax to disinfect, following the initial deep clean. Soft furnishings should be sprayed, and cleaning cloths should be changed as needed and not used in more than one room.

As per our Cleaning Protocol, appropriate PPE should be worn during the clean - disposable gloves, and washable aprons and masks are advised. Disposable gloves should be removed and replaced after removing high risk items from property.

Thank you so much for your help with keeping properties clean, which in turn helps to keep our guests as well as housekeepers safe.
